TC projectors are designed well, u can literally "pop" the lenses off and swap em out! You may want to change the bowl too since it does have a foreground scatter / limiter.

In regards to wiring, PNP HID kits for ~ $50 work fine WITHOUT connecting to battery, u just connect it to the stock harnesses to get power. The wires are thick enough plus u get stock fuses and relays to do the work for you. Never have I connected it directly to battery for power, only my halogen fogs are wired that way. ;)
